slow heartbeat

Share

I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AT 7 WKS AND THE DOCTOR DID A V/S AND SAID THE BABYS HEARBEAT WAS A LITTLE SLOW, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT TO COME BACK IN 2 WEEKS, BECAUSE IN 2 WEEKS THE HEARBEAT SHOULD BE STRONGER. BUT OF COURSE I AM NERVOUS AND WAS WONDERING IF THIS HAPPEND TO ANYBODY ELSE.

I had the exact same thing happen to me on my first prenental visit, which was yesterday in fact. I was supposed to be at 8 weeks, but the MD said that the heartbeat was a little slow, and again "nothing to worry about". The gestational sac looked smaller, maybe at 5-6 wks, she wondered if I miscalculated. I know sometimes my periods are irregular, so perhaps ovulation didn't happen as I timed it. Maybe the same case with you? Perhaps your baby is a bit younger than what you thought. I have to check in at 2 wks too. Good luck, try not to stress, i know its hard, I'm going through the same thing!

Somebody please post updates beyond the first ultrasound! How did your second one go? I have my second ultrasound Wednesday. I will be 8w2d, but baby measured small and had slow hearbeat at first ultrasound last week. I will let you know how it turns out, but I would like to hear about everyone else who is going through the same thing. Some positive outcomes would be very helpful right now!

I'm curious to see if anyone has had a positive outcome with having a slow heartbeat betweeen 6-8 weeks. I'm just seeing concerns being posted but no positive outcomes:o( I went in today for V/S & I'm 7 weeks 3days. Embryo looks fine, Dr. said that I would probably end up miscarrying b/c heartbeat was really slow & the yolk sac was still big??? I go in next week & they even encouraged me to start thinking about a D & C.I will wait until I miscarry of course. My pregnancy symtoms have diminished so that also makes me believe that they are right on my baby not being viable. All I can do is wait. Lots of luck to everyone & I really hope there was at least a couple positive outcomes.

Going through the same thing. This will (hopefully) be my second child, my first... No problem or issue in the least super healthy pregnancy and child. Had vaginal ultrasound yesterday and since I know the day we conceived (bc of recent early mc, we only had intercourse once) I am 6 w 6 d pregnant but baby was measuring at 6w1d as well as a slow heart rate (ranging from mid-
90's to 102). The tech said that I am more likely to miscarry. But also said "not to loose any sleep over it." oooh ok!! Geez.
That said I have another ultrasound next wk to follow up. Argh, hard to wait
But I know and believe all things happen for a reason, it is out of my hands now.

I am supposed to be 8 weeks and last week I was told baby was measuring small, more like 6 weeks with a low hb of 90, is there any hope? I have had 2 miscarriages already and am devastated and trying to conceive for 3 years….

Nobody seems to answer the question. I've the same problem of irregular heartbeat and size being comparatively smaller for a 7 weeks baby. The doctor said it might get back to normal or stop beating! Hoping and praying it gets better till my next appointment which is a week after. Love and faith to everyone.

Im in a situation like this to, as im around 8/9 weeks now. I had an ultrascan done 2 weeks ago, and they said baby was ok, but i had a large myoma ( fibroid ), and that my chance was around 20 % of having it. Then last week, i have another scan, and thery say, its gone, heart stopped beating. I went in next day for dc, i was very distressed, as im in a foriegn country, he checked with vagina scan again, couldnt believe it, but the baby had moved position , away from fibroid and had a very slow heartbeat. i was shocked, as went home mourning over a dead baby , that was still alive. So went back yday gain, heartbeat fouteus is still very slow but its growing ok, and the water min is growing great, but the doctor has left here now, and told me to wait and let nature take its own course. its horrible as im sitting here not knowing is it alive or not ? Any advice would be great, as im in a foriegn country, so no such thing as nhs here. Should i be doing blood tests etc, thanks.

I was 7 weeks preg when I began heavy bleeding. I quickly went to my doc and had an ultrasound. The baby was smaller then it should be and his heart beat was very slow. The doc told me.he was almost 100% sure that I was going through miscarriage and when I heard him say it I was in total doubt. The heavy bleeding stopped the same day and the doc scheduled me another ultrasound within 4 days. I kept my thoughts positive but when they did the ultrasound 4 days later I had already lost the baby. I ended up having a d&c surgery. ANDATAYLOR as long as you don't bleed you should be ok. It could be that the baby is not 7 weeks yet and the heart is just beginning to beat. Good luck.

Im going through the same thing had my first ultrasound today ... I was told that the heartbeat was slow and the baby was smaller than should be .. But my doctor seemed concerned ... I have to go for a bunch of blood work today and the again in 48hours ... How are u keeping it together.. Im trying not to stress but all i can think is Im gonna lose the baby
